One thing to check - this happened to me before - is I had disabled surface
flinger, because I wanted to run some mir tests. If, when the phone boots,
the display server does not start, you're left with the google logo.
However, if you use 'adb shell', you can still log in to the device as
usual. If that's the case, then it sounds like your display server is
refusing to start, for some reason...

It should be reasonably easy to fix, yes. Join us in #ubuntu-autopilot when
you get back from vacation and I can show you what needs to be done.
